Chapter 500: Years are a pig-killing knife

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came back and Zhulan asked, "Did you find out anything?"

Zhou Shuren actually found out some information. "There hasn't been any major changes in the Xu family's business recently. The only problem is that the Xu family is looking for large-scale fishing boats."

Zhulan, "Today, the Li family found out that the Xu family hopes that the Li family will invest in the fishing boat."

Zhou Shuren handed Zhulan a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and then said, "I always feel like there's something behind me, but I can't find it."

Zhu Lanxin also kept thinking, "Yes, it's like an invisible net has been cast, waiting for the Zhou family to fall into it!"

Zhou Shuren looked at his little son who was trying to turn things around with cold eyes. He would not let anyone who wanted to destroy his and Zhulan's lives go.

Zhu Lan couldn't guess what was going on. She would never let Li be a bait. She preferred to eliminate the danger before it even started. "It seems that Li and the Xu family don't need to have any more contact."

Zhou Shuren thought so too, "Yeah."

They are not gods, but ordinary people. Even gods have their flaws. Zhou Shuren is not arrogant enough to think that he can manipulate everyone. He is not an arrogant person.

The next day, Zhulan told Li that they no longer needed to have any contact. Li was very angry. She had not slept the previous night and had analyzed the situation with the head of the family the entire night. Unfortunately, they were not smart and could not figure out anything. The more she could not figure out, the more scared she became.

Zhulan looked at Li's relaxed look and was afraid. "You haven't rested well. Go back and rest for a while."

Li nodded with a heavy head, "Mom, I'm going home."

She was going back to catch up on her sleep and just hoped her son would not disturb her.

When Li came out of the courtyard, she saw her third brother's wife. Li yawned and said, "Brother's wife."

Mrs. Dong was stunned. Sister-in-law didn't sleep well? That's not right. Didn't Minghui live alone? Mrs. Dong suddenly blushed, "Sister-in-law."

Li looked up at the sky in confusion, "It was just this morning, and it's not hot today, why is my sister-in-law's face red?"

Mrs. Dong, ".......I'm going to find my mother."

Li blinked her eyes and said, "It's really hard to guess what a pregnant woman is thinking."

I just glared at her, but after careful consideration, I haven't offended Dong recently!

Zhulan saw Dong coming and motioned for Dong to sit down. "Why are you here?"

Dong was relieved that her mother-in-law didn't get angry with her. "Mom, my elder sister knew that my mother was coming, so she wrote a letter to bring the children with her. But my mother is leaving. My mother wants to go to the capital to see my sister first, so I want to go to the capital with her for a few days."

Zhulan wondered what it was about. "Changlian will go with you. When we were in Pingzhou, Changlian was taken care of by your brother-in-law. This is a good opportunity for you to go over and stay for a few days."

Dong's eyes were filled with joy. This was an unexpected surprise. She had not expected Chang Lian to accompany her, and she did not even dare to mention it to Chang Lian. "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan said, "I'll ask Steward Ding to arrange a carriage, and you can go back and pack your luggage."

Mrs. Dong really needed to prepare well. This trip to the capital was different. She and Chang Lian did not need any protection. They were visiting relatives openly. The gifts had to be prepared well. They could not lose face for the Zhou family. "Ah."

The next morning, Zhulan sent Dong Lin away. She didn't even pay any attention to Dong Liao. Even though Dong Liao didn't leave the house, she knew everything she needed to know and cursed the Zhou family a lot.

Zhulan returned to the courtyard. After the two masters left, not much had changed in the Zhou Mansion. It was still very lively.

Zhulan no longer had to entertain guests, as all her attention was focused on Changzhi's wedding banquet. Invitations and other things had to be prepared. Zhulan had people exchange gold, and beat peanuts and dates with good meanings. She also beat a lot of silver peanuts, which were all from merchants.

Wu Ning has been back for some time from the Wu family in the border area. When she came back, she was very grand and when she attended the banquet, the ladies from the county were not only polite to her, but also very fawning.

The lady who used to ridicule her even looked at her with fear, but she did not feel happy, but rather a little annoyed.

When Wu Ming found some time to come back, he saw his sister sitting by the corridor looking at the pool. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Wu Ning was startled and almost fell down. What was she thinking just now? She actually thought of Master Shi. This time someone came to propose marriage and it was no longer a humiliating proposal. Although she refused, she couldn't help thinking of Master Shi. They should be engaged soon.

Wu Ming didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, and he didn't want to know about it at the moment, so he didn't think about it because he had too few sisters. He just thought that he was not used to it. "Do you want to go back to Zhou's house?"

Wu Ning did miss him a little, but who she missed was unknown to her heart. Wu Ning felt particularly sad. It seemed that the more she suppressed her feelings, the more she could not control herself. "Brother, I don't want to go back."

What would happen if they went back? They had no chance.

Wu Ming raised his hand to touch his sister's head, but his sister had grown up and withdrew her hand. This girl said one thing and meant another. It seemed better for her to go back early so that all the attention would not be on her sister.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four days have passed. Chang Lian and Dong Shi came back, and Zhu Lan asked, "Why didn't you stay longer?"

Mrs. Dong lowered her head, looking unhappy, "Mom, I still have some luggage to pack, so I'll go back first."

Zhulan: "Ah."

Chang Lian didn't leave. Seeing his mother looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed and coughed, "I went to see a play."

Zhulan, "Hmm?"

Chang Lian was depressed. If he didn't tell his mother, she would never let him go. He said awkwardly, "My brother-in-law's concubine is pregnant. My brother-in-law is partial to the concubine. My sister has been wronged."

Zhulan understood, so Dong's sister said she wanted to come, not only to see Dong Lin, but also came with good intentions. Zhulan calculated the ages of Lord Jiang and Mrs. Dong and curled her lips. She thought how deep the feelings between Lord Jiang and Mrs. Dong, who was married for the second time, were. At first, she said it was love, but in the end, it could not withstand the butcher knife of time.

Zhulan looked at Changlian and asked, "Why are you staying here if you don't spend more time with Mrs. Dong?"

At this time, Dong must be scared, no wonder she looked so bad.

Chang Lian lowered his voice, "Mom, I met the fifth prince. We entered the city together."

Zhu Lan was stunned, "How do you know the Fifth Prince?"

I slept late last night and didn’t hear the four alarm bells. I woke up at 11:00. I wanted to post both chapters at once, but the second chapter doesn’t have many words, so I have to wait another hour. . . Sorry, I didn’t hear the alarm bells.
